"We, the concerned citizens, therefore demand you recall for the sake of our city's future," said Brenda Harbin-Forte, retired Oakland judge. "You lack the competency, credibility, judgement and ability to lead what was once a great American city."
"It seems like this was a very strategic, planned press conference that they had today to try to debug any support that the mayor had in coming out," said Chaney Turner, California Democratic Assembly Delegate District 18. "The recall is an attack against the mayor."
"Our business community many in our community, many working people we are suffering," said Carl Chan, President of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce.
"I don't believe that this recall is fair, and it was not led by the people of Oakland. You have the majority of the funding - pretty much over 80% of the funding for the recall is coming from landlords, tech developers and people who want to further gentrify Oakland," said Turner.
